(The car has never been hit and prior to rebuilding the front end I had no trouble meeting specs). Why do you think your car has clunking noises after such a short time?
In my case I think it is because the (Febi) track rod mounts that I used are of such poor quality that they are causing the problem.

You are correct sir. I did a partial front end rebuild last year but I think I installed the realy big ball joint at the chassis improperly. That caused to become damaged internally. This time, I'm replacing all the bushings because I have a spring compressor and I can.
I'm also going to replace the front calipers and master cyl. There is some kind of black sediment in the reservoir. The fluid was also black and had sediment in it. I hope my ABS controler is OK.
